Balance your home budget or help your kids with homework with this Dell GX520 desktop tower. This desktop arrives with a copy of Windows 7 Home so that you can get loaded up and ready to go in minutes. Reliable Intel Pentium 4 processing makes Internet search engines run a little faster, and the 80GB heard drive offers up dependable operation.

Great for internet surfing, email and youtube watching. Make sure you download an updated browser since the internet explorer was outdated and running slow. Once I downloaded Google Chrome it works fine.

I was thrilled when we received this computer and immediately set it up. For several weeks the computer worked fine and we enjoyed being able to do normal PC functions including video, web, etc.
That was until one day the computer refused to boot. We had the computer just over seven weeks before the system failed. We took it in to get checked on and the hard drive had crashed, loosing all information with the only option being replacing it an all the software we had purchased. Now it is after the 30-day return AND of course we have opened it so that nulls the policy. Needless to say, I will not purchase electronics here again.

No problems with startup, where this unit was easily "plug & play". Purchased this unit for my mother, who needs some power for pics, emails and Skype, but more for reliability and this unit has proven to meet that need. I would recommend and would purchase again.

Ordered this to replace a 10 yr old Dell desktop that died recently. It performs better than the old one, although it is slower than my new laptop, but I expected that based on the specs. It was not difficult to hook up and so far we are pleased with the performance. We have been using it for 3 weeks and not had any major issues.

For the price, it seems it should be sufficient for my simple needs. The reviews helped my decision to buy.

I needed a new CPU ASAP, but I didn't have a lot of money on hand. My son, who works with computers for, took a look at the Description and said this was a good deal for the money and it would meet my computing needs.

My wife's PC just died and I saw this one on sale. She uses it mainly for facebook and email.

Hello rickanna! I sincerely apologize for the trouble you had with the audio on this computer. I do see that it looks like you got this issue resolved. Please let us know if you need additional assistance. Thanks for shopping with us.

The built-in 10/100/1000 network card (NIC) I would have preferred a standalone card which could be swapped out, or a card that could be upgrade in the future via firmware. Preferably Intel, or 3Com. The NIC chip can be disabled via the BIOS. The eight USB version 2.0 ports (six in the back, two in the front) are a welcome addition especially the two in the front which are not hidden behind an annoying hinged door and by using one of the USB ports you can use the Actiontec 802AIN Wireless N USB Network Adapter and have wireless wifi.

Second question. This ones tricky:
I don't really want to re-install all my programs and files, so if I clone my existing hard drive to the HD that comes with this unit, can I then use the Win7 Installation CD to upgrade from my existing Win2000 operating system?
